Good morning everyone and a happy new year!  2016!  I hope you all had a great New Year and old one as well.  Let´s all learn from this last year and keep moving forward no matter where we may be!  That´s why new years is such a great time of the year!  New beginnings!

Well, this past week was pretty good!  We were able to find a new investigator and he now has a baptismal date!  He is a good friend of a member and he is dating a member as well so that might have helped.  But he is really excited for his baptism on the 16th of this month.

We also have another investigator that we have been teaching for a while that has his third baptismal date.  It´s also for the 16th.  Hopefully we can get him to the chapel!  We talked to him yesterday and he still isn´t sure about baptism.  He knows that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that through him, Jesus was able to restore His gospel.  Everytime we go he feels the spirit and he knows that it´s the spirit, but he is still a little hesitant to be baptized.  I don´t know exactly why and neither does he.  We will be working with him a lot this week.

Well I passed New Years trying to sleep.  It seems like it is a big time of the year for Peru.  There are a ton of fireworks and it´s super hard to sleep through all of it.  But it´s good.  I think the members of Salcedo are a little bit more excited to work this year.  We have recieved a couple of references and they came to church as well so that´s pretty good!  We also started off the year with a member accomponying us the whole day.  Not a bad start.  Hopefully we can keep the fire burning.  We didn´t start the fire. It´s always been burning since the world has been turning.

​I hope you all have a great year in 2016!  Enjoy it!  Love you all, learn a lot!​  Thanks for everything as always!
